Bam Biography
Real Name: Brandon C. Margera
Bam was born on 9/28/79. He currently lives in West Chester, Pennsylvania. He is a pro skater and used to skate for Toy Machine but left them and now is skating for Element. He is sponsored by Element, Electric, Spitfire, Volcom and Adio. He has been skateboarding since 1988. Bam's favorite skaters are Boulala, Penny, Maldonado, Getz, Saari, and Hoof. His favorite bands are Depeche Mode, CKy, Atrocity, Anethema, HIM, Iron Maiden, and Death Metal. His interests include skateboarding and filming. Bam's favorite food is toasted everything bagel w/ mayo, lettuce and tomato. His favorite movies are Good Will Hunting, Mall Rats, Fost Boys, Robin Hood "Men In Tights". Bam hates Tod Swank and he likes his S4 and A4, hoofs gear, and FDR Park. He has a girlfriend named Jenn Rivell and they have been together for awhile. Bam drives a bright blue 2000 Audi. Before Jackass Bam made the skate/stunt movies "Jump off a Building" "Landspeed Cky" and "Cky2k." Bam is currently working on a movie called "Your Life is Pathetic" which is all about Ryan Dunn's pathetic life. Bam Margera was born on September 28, 1979 in West Chester, Pennsylvania to Phil and April Margera. He has one brother, Jess Margera (drummer for Camp Kill Yourself). He was given the nickname by his grandfather when he was very young because of his wild nature.
As a kid, he enjoyed producing movies with his buddies and would film the craziest home movies. This love of film making continues to today. His love for skateboarding began in 1988 when he decided to try something different.
His big break came in 2000, when he teamed up with Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Christ Pontius in the extreme television show Jackass where they would do all types of crazy stunts.
In 2002, the Jackass crew took their follies to the big screen in Jackass: The Movie. The movie was fairly success
It's not exactly breaking news, but Bam Margera has a pretty awesome life.
He lives in an honest-to-goodness castle in West Chester, Pennsylvania, on 14 acres of rolling hills, heavily wooded forests and the occasional smashed-up all-terrain vehicle. Inside "Castle Bam" are three floors of jukeboxes, skateboards, slot machines, suits of armor, video games, hot tubs, motorcycles, a pirate-themed bar, crates and crates of complimentary energy drinks, and cats (Trouble and Mischief though perhaps unsurprisingly, they frequently stay outside).
"I'm always motivated, which I think has a lot to do with the music and skateboarding. [My friends and I] are all motivated to do things..."
His days, it seems, are spent skateboarding, driving expensive cars, screwing around with an ever-revolving cast of friends, and, as the tagline to his show, "Viva la Bam," says, generally doing "whatever the f---" he feels like. Today, this will include demolishing part of his uncle's house, hanging out at a local tavern (big up to the Blarney Stone!) and taking over a farm in nearby Gradyville to stage an impromptu performance by one of his favorite bands, British black-metal act Cradle of Filth.
"Yeah, my life is pretty awesome now, I know it," Margera laughs. "But I'm always motivated, which I think has a lot to do with the music and skateboarding and all the friends around me. We all get motivated to do things, and to get Cradle of Filth to play out here is just a phone call like, 'Dude can you play or not?' It can be that simple, and we take advantage of it. And I wouldn't have it any other way."
But Brandon Cole Margera, 25, didn't get where he is by pure luck (though he goes to great lengths to make it appear that way). It's actually quite the opposite. He's worked tirelessly for years skating, directing, producing, designing to cultivate an image of the ultimate slacker, a dirty layabout in baggy pants. Which was true about eight years ago, when he was just another bored suburban skate-rat from eastern Pennsylvania, making home movies and playing somewhat sick pranks with his pals.
"Kids like everything that's going on [with me] because they know it's for real..."
But somewhere along the line, Margera got the idea that there are probably millions of kids around the U.S. just like him, kids who like seeing skateboarding mishaps mixed with the occasional bodily function joke. And so he released "CKY: Landspeed," a DVD full of skating, profanity and shopping-cart smash-ups (featuring tunes from his brother Jess' band, Camp Kill Yourself). It was such a hit that it spawned three successful sequels and landed a spot on MTV's similarly themed "Jackass." And Bam Margera took the first step toward becoming BAM, the icon rebel, hero to 13-year-olds, cottage industry.
This month, Element Skateboards the company that sponsors Margera professionally opened an 1,800-square-foot shop in the heart of Times Square in New York. Its walls are lined with polished metal, TVs pumping out images of skaters tearing up half pipes, and about 50 million "BAM" T-shirts (and decks, beanies, pendants, sweatbands, keychains and belt buckles and that's not including the footwear, eyewear, deodorant, DVDs and CDs he also endorses). Margera caused a near-riot when he appeared at the store's opening, with a 20-deep crowd spilling out of the shop's doors, and it was a visceral confirmation of something that advertisers have known for a long, long time: Kids just love Bam Margera.
"Kids like everything that's going on [with me] because they know it's for real," Margera says. "I didn't have Cradle of Filth out here because MTV wanted it, I had them play because I wanted it. I don't listen to what other people tell me to do. I do things I want to do because I want to do them. And kids know it."

Still, the question remains: just how much Bam is too much? When will the legions of kids who snap up his products get tired of him or grow out of him, and grow weary of seeing his mug on TV every three seconds? Kids love Bam because he is "real," a hooligan with a wanton disregard for authority and his own well-being. He's kind of like a supersized version of the cool older brother who skates, has a few bust-ups with the cops, is frequently shirtless, hangs out in the basement and plays you all the killer records. But how "real" can a guy be who shills deodorant and hangs with celebrities in Las Vegas?Bam Margera was born on September 28, 1979 in West Chester, Pennsylvania to Phil and April Margera. He has one brother, Jess Margera (drummer for Camp Kill Yourself). He was given the nickname by his grandfather when he was very young because of his wild nature.

In 2002, the Jackass crew took their follies to the big screen in Jackass: The Movie. The movie was fairly successful and Bam and friends won the MTV Award for Best On-Screen Team.
He took the money he made from the movie and produced his own movie in 2003 entitled Haggard: The Movie. In 2003, he was also given his own TV show, "Viva la Bam."
Became engaged to girlfriend Jennifer Rivell in June 2003. [Note: There is an infamous sex tape of Bam and Jennifer floating around the internet.] They broke up in April 2005. Soon afterwards, Jennifer stated in an interview on a radio show (Q102 in Philadelphia) that Bam called her up and told her that he had slept with Jessica Simpson [source & transcript of interview: TheSuperficial.com]
Bam continues to evolve in film and stunts, but he also appears on the Tony Hawk Pro Skater video games (3 & 4)
He is producing a movie entitled Dream Seller. It is a true story about a young up-and-coming pro skater (Brandon Novak) who got hooked on heroin at the age of 14. Bam took him under his wing and helped him to clean himself up and return to skateboarding. The movie is due to be released on video in 2006. He is also working on a follow-up to Haggard entitled Kiss a Good Mans A**.
Bam Bam can be heard every Monday evening on Sirius radio on his own program called Bam Radio [click here for more info.]
Miscellaneous: Hobbies he enjoys include: skateboarding (duh), acting and filming. His favorite thing to eat is an everything bagel with M, L & T
